Scope: Marvel narrative screen productions released 2005 through 28 August 2026. Evidence base: a pairwise ledger of 53 deduplicated title-to-title claims, a normalized catalog of 44 retained titles (10 with documented edges, 34 without), and a focused set of 78 targeted claims from official and trade sources. This is a documented-evidence scan, not an exhaustive census: the broad extraction produced 1,634 candidate rows, but title normalization and evidence joining retained only these. Absence of an edge below is never proof a title is standalone.
Measured strictly at title level, the documented interconnection of Marvel screen fiction after 2005 concentrates in three clusters. First, the 2013–2018 network era: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. reacts on screen to Iron Man, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Captain America: Civil War, with an indirect Darkhold tie to Doctor Strange (gizmodo.com). Second, the 2020–2026 streaming lattice around WandaVision, whose trilogy closes with VisionQuest — itself wired back to Iron Man, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Avengers: Infinity War through Vision and a reprised Raz (deadline.com). Third, the retroactive re-canonization of the Netflix street-level set into Daredevil: Born Again, decided when “the isolated Marvel universe that once resided on Netflix would become MCU canon” (hollywoodreporter.com). After deduplication the 53 ledger claims collapse to 42 distinct title pairs across 45 named productions; every edge on this page names exactly two titles and links its source row.
Inclusion: a claim enters the map only if its row names two exact production titles. Franchise, studio, character and universe labels were never converted into nodes, and no edge was inferred from shared ownership, actors in unrelated roles, Easter eggs or general universe membership. Source rubric: official studio pages (marvel.com, thewaltdisneycompany.com, sonypictures.com) rank strongest; entertainment trades (Variety, Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter) next; aggregators and reference pages (Wikipedia, TV Tropes, Grokipedia, Fandom, CartoonWiki, fan sites) are discovery-level only. Confidence reflects both source tier and whether the verbatim quote actually establishes the pair; four ledger rows fail that second test and are drawn dotted red. Nulls were preserved: eleven ledger rows arrived with no connector, basis, type or canon fields extracted — they are shown dotted gray as discovery-level leads, not dropped and not upgraded from memory.
Fields shown where the rows supplied them; dashes mark preserved nulls. The catalog is not a complete census. Two typographic duplicates are present and kept visible: X-Men '97 (straight apostrophe) and X-Men ’97 (curly apostrophe) appear as separate rows from different sources. Untitled and tentative projects (Untitled Okoye Series, Untitled Scarlett Johansson Production, Ryan Coogler’s Wakanda-Set Television Series) rest on a single aggregator listing and are not treated as fully confirmed.

“Edges” is the documented_connection_count carried in each catalog row. The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. row reports 0 despite five ledger claims — an internal inconsistency of the scan, flagged rather than repaired.
The central evidence table: 53 claims deduplicated to 42 pairs (repeat rows for WandaVision’s cast announcements, the Echo↔Hawkeye pair in both directions, and “Agent Carter”/“Marvel’s Agent Carter” naming variants were merged; the merge is noted, not hidden). Every row links the page the claim came from.

Deadpool not established in this scan Deadpool & Wolverine not established in this scan Logan not established in this scan Loki
No row pairs Deadpool (2016) with Deadpool & Wolverine; Logan appears in no result set at all; no row pairs Logan with Loki. The chain cannot be certified from this dataset and is not forced. The nearest supported material: Deadpool & Wolverine → X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Deadpool’s debut) is asserted by an official Disney page, but the quoted evidence — “he’s the Merc with the mouth” — does not itself state the debut, so it is flagged (thewaltdisneycompany.com). Separately, Loki is quoted as picking up “after the events of Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Endgame” (marvel.com), and a marvel.com feature ties Loki’s finale to the Multiverse of Madness setup alongside Spider-Man: No Way Home (marvel.com) — useful context, but neither row was shaped into the ledger, so both stay out of the map.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day Frank Castle cast — casting evidence The Punisher Frank Castle · same continuity Daredevil sequel / retroactive canon Daredevil: Born Again Frank Castle · TV special Punisher: One Last Kill
The first arrow is supported as the same individual crossing titles: Jon Bernthal “is suiting up as the vigilante once again for Spider-Man: Brand New Day” (au.variety.com; corroborated at deadline.com). It is casting-level, not an on-screen plot-continuation quote, so it is drawn as supported-but-lighter. The remaining arrows are confirmed: Bernthal originated Castle in Daredevil season 2 (variety.com), returned in Born Again (deadline.com), and headlines Punisher: One Last Kill (variety.com).

Each arrow above is a separate sourced ledger row; see the table in section 4 for the quoted basis and link of every one.
Rows where the evidence names the same individual — and, where quoted, the same performer — crossing exact titles.
Film → series dominates the confirmed set: four films feed WandaVision; Iron Man, Age of Ultron and Infinity War feed VisionQuest; Wakanda Forever feeds Ironheart; Hawkeye feeds Echo (series → series). Series → film is rarer but documented: WandaVision → Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness by official statement. Animation ↔ live-action: this scan documents none. The only animated-to-animated pair extracted, Avengers Assemble → Marvel’s Spider-Man, arrives from a fan wiki with no quoted basis and stays discovery-level (fandom.com). X-Men ’97 and What If...? carry no cross-format edge in any row — a coverage gap, not evidence of isolation.
The ledger row pairing Spider-Man: Brand New Day with Deadpool & Wolverine has no connector, basis or canon fields, and its only supporting trade context compares trailer view counts — a marketing statistic, not a narrative connection (usacelebs.com, deadline.com). Likewise, the rumored Daredevil cameo in Brand New Day is explicitly unconfirmed in its own source. Both are shown dotted, never solid.
34 catalog rows carry zero documented edges: the Marvel Rising family (eight titles), the Marvel Anime trio, Blade: The Series, Ultimate Spider-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, Helstrom, Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H., Marvel Disk Wars, Marvel Future Avengers, X-Men: Evolution, both X-Men ’97 rows, and the announced slate (Avengers: Doomsday, Avengers: Secret Wars, Black Panther 3, Blade, Armor Wars, Nova, Shang-Chi 2, The X-Men, Beyond the Spider-Verse, and the untitled projects). Every one is labeled “no confirmed connection found in this scan” — a statement about this scan’s reach, not about the titles. Several are near-certainly connected in reality (an Avengers film with no edges is a coverage artifact, not a standalone film).
Key corpus gaps: no rows at all for Logan, What If...?, the Sony Venom/Morbius/Kraven titles, the Fox X-Men mainline timelines, Ms. Marvel, The Marvels, Loki (as a shaped ledger edge), Moon Knight, Shang-Chi (released), the Guardians films, or the 2005–2012 pre-MCU theatrical wave beyond Ghost Rider, Elektra and Hulk. Retention fell from 1,634 candidate rows to 44 titles and 53 claims. A second-stage manual census against official and studio sources is required before anyone may claim exhaustiveness, a longest confirmed chain, a largest franchise-spanning chain, or a definitive standalone list. Until then, this map is a floor on Marvel’s title-level connectivity, not a ceiling.
Method: evidence-led scan of Marvel narrative screen productions, 2005 through 2026-08-28. Inputs: a pairwise ledger of 53 deduplicated title-to-title claims (deduplicated here to 42 pairs across 45 title nodes; naming variants “Agent Carter”/“Marvel’s Agent Carter” and “Agents of SHIELD”/“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” merged with a note), a normalized catalog of 44 titles carrying scan totals of 10 titles with and 34 without documented edges, and 78 focused claims from targeted official/trade searches used only where both exact titles and a quoted basis were present. An edge measures one sourced pairwise claim, not overall relatedness; nulls were preserved; confidence reflects source tier and whether the quote establishes the pair. Cut for space: verbatim evidence excerpts beyond the basis field, repeated announcement rows, and focused-set rows lacking a source title. Some sources date from 2026 and describe then-upcoming productions.
